2247101, Exactly why I didn't care for it in the end...

if they were going to frame it in, there's more to the story than what Duran has offered

and Ray doesn't believe him

the doc never nailed either of these points

IMO, I'm more convinced that Duran's explanation is in fact the truth

'I was the King of New York after the first fight'

'I was partying...etc'

the testimonial from folks that were there, shouts out to Christie Brinkley, reinforce the story

he was 10 pounds over weight a week before the fight

and dropped the lbs over the weekend taking diuretics, etc...

I think Ray has more difficulty accepting No Mas as part of his legacy too, than Duran's explanation

also, there was a body shot, I think in the 5th

I don't know if they added sound effects to the doc to enhance it

but GATDAYUM, that shit sounded like f'n thunder and stopped Duran in his tracks

Duran's conditioning and explanation are easier for me to accept now
